My mum of all people accused me of being too picky today and that soon all the guys my age will already have kids! Ive had it from friends but I thought she of all people would be more understanding of my situation. Ive attempted online dating a couple times now and I actually think Im quite non-judgemental, but everyone seems to think that Im single of my own fault.

The truth is, not many guys ever show an interest in me and contrary to popular belief I dont have a queue of people to turn down, plus the ones I admit to liking always find a way to humiliate me over it to the point where I can no longer freely admit to guys how I feel.

In my life requited love does not exist. Ive learnt the easiest way to deceive a girl is to talk of a future with you in it, just to keep you there as back-up and Ive learnt that if a guy is decent enough and has female friends, the second you meet him one of his ‘friends’ will wake up and come forward to claim him.
